Chase was very calm and professional. I definitely appreciated that and that's what lead me to book with him. He was a definite help running the rehearsal. He sent reminder emails with instructions for obtaining a marriage license and changing my name. The process of writing our ceremony was super relaxed. He provided sample ceremonies my fiance and I could look through and piece together what we'd like. we chose an non-religious ceremony but we were able to create something meaningful and filled with love. we had free reign to create our ceremony but when we asked for help chase was quick to step in and help add a portion about our history. He also took the time to review our ceremony and make sure it was perfect for the day of.

There are simply no words to express how amazing Chase was for our wedding! He made us feel as ease, dealt with a few hiccups, was on time, , easy to communicate with, and was just a pure joy to work with. We wrote the wedding ceremony ourselves and Chase was so willing to offer advice and go with our vision. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us and asked how long we knew him — they were astounded to find out we only met once before the wedding! Hiring Chase was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our special day.

We are so glad we met with Chase and chose him to perform our wedding ceremony! He sent us a sample packet of wording and we were able to customize our ceremony. He was so great to work with and we could not have been happier with our ceremony! We received many compliments from our guests on how great of a job he did and how beautiful the ceremony was. Also, we could tell that he truly enjoys what he does. I found out after the ceremony that he was really helpful in making sure everything was on track,everyone was where they needed to be, and that everything was going to run smoothly. You will not be disappointed with Chase performing your ceremony!

Chase Waits with Columbus Wedding Officiants was incredible to work with! My fiance (now husband) and I live in Columbus but have yet to connect with a church. We were looking for an officiant who we "clicked" with and would be flexible with doing our ceremony however we wanted. Chase met us one Sunday at a Starbucks in Westerville, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit! Right away he said he does this because he loves witnessing the love and commitment between two people and he wants to make our ceremony exactly how we wanted on our special day - and he truly did just that! He gives great ideas on ways you can set up your readings/vows/exchange of rings, but is really flexible in changing any part to make it your own. I would recommend Chase again and again to other newlyweds!

Working with Chase was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in mid-April! He was flexible when we worked on writing our own ceremony, offering valuable feedback and adding things to make the flow stronger. We had several people comment after the ceremony on how personal it was. We cannot say enough good things about working with Chase!

Chase was by far what we were looking for when we were looking for someone to marry us. Only meeting Chase a few times before the wedding, he was professional and kept on track of where we should be. Telling us when to get our license and helping us with our vows, we knew that Chase was the right person for the job. My husband and I love to joke and play tricks (Our Wedding was on April Fools Day) and Chase was a great sport. He had everyone laughing at our vows (that is what we wanted). I can not say enough about him. Thank you Chase for making our day AWESOME!
